I started out reading Three Cups of Tea and thought that Mortenson's co-author was a bit too enamored of him and may have exaggerated the amount of struggles overcome and whatnot. Then I found this book and was intrigued and tried ot look stuff up on this conflict to see if it was just a guy wanting to smear Mortenson or if there was something to the issues of mismanagement and falsehoods raised in Three Cups of Deceit. There were lawsuits and a 60 Minutes (April 2011) that put Mortenson on shaky ground. I think the cause and intent are still noble, but Mortenson may have got caught up in making a name for himself eventually. Before the books, though, it seems he didn't have a handle on running things to see that schools built got supplies and teachers as promised, a problem that may have started with not holding himself accountable with time sheets, expense reports, etc. It may be a case of mismanagement, but that still leaves many lies that were uncovered. I am disappointed with this effort I had long wanted to read about. I'm glad someone came forward with the truth, though.
